The update, published this week, reflects deliveries made between March 17 and April 18 — just a little over four weeks. Based on the newly added items, it’s now possible to estimate production and transfer timelines for certain systems.

Ukraine has already received 12 units throughout the year, and the four recently delivered vehicles likely correspond to those announced as being in production back in December 2024.

This suggests a manufacturing cycle of around four months.

Interestingly, Germany’s previous aid update in March already listed four delivered Zuzana 2 self-propelled howitzers. While this may seem like a rapid follow-up, the likely explanation is that several units were manufactured simultaneously and delivered in batches, since the tempo is much higher than previously said.

Beyond these flagship systems, the updated aid package includes a wide range of critical items:
- 66 unnamed MRAP vehicles
- Ammunition for Leopard 2 tanks
- 4 Kinetic Defense Vehicles
- 38,000 rounds for Gepard air-defense systems
- Missiles for IRIS-T SLM air-defense systems
- 3 Zuzana 2 155mm self-propelled howitzers
- 1,000 artillery shells (122mm)
- 70 Vector reconnaissance drones with spare parts
- 150 HF-1 loitering munitions
- 10 unmanned maritime vehicles
- 6 Bergepanzer 2 armored recovery vehicles
- 4 WISENT 1 mine-clearing vehicles
- 2 demining plows
- 41 ground surveillance radars
- 187 laser rangefinders
- 92 infrared binoculars
- 100 underwater scooters
- 3 border service vehicles
- 917 RGW 90 anti-tank rocket launchers
- 3,769 G38 assault rifles
- 800 MK 556 assault rifles
- 150,000 tourniquets
- 1,300 sleeping bags

In addition to hardware, Germany has also provided support services, including the deployment and maintenance of four IRIS-T air defense systems (SLM/SLS variants) and accompanying missiles, as well as deliveries of Patriot missiles, 120 Igla MANPADS, 316 Vector UAVs, 30 RQ-35 Heidrun drones, and 1,100 ground surveillance radars.
While Germany debates the political and military value of transferring Taurus missiles, Rheinmetall is betting on ammunition — expanding shell production, including in Ukraine. Meanwhile, the UK is considering a joint weapons production hub with Ukraine, signaling growing European interest in deeper industrial defense cooperation.
